asterisk users - Aug 2006 - Call Routing based on Caller-Id

Hello,

  How can I build extensions.conf so that Asterisk routes calls based  
on the ANI, not the number dialed.

Example:

All calls coming down a PRI are going to the same number.  I would  
like to route them to a new number based on the Calling-Station-Id.   
I.E. All calls from 413-773-XXXX go to 413-773-1234

-Matt

Use the 'ex-girlfriend' option in extensions.conf. See this 
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20config%20extensions.conf

BTW, does anybody know the history of why ANI-based routing is called 
'ex-girlfriend' option? AFAIK, it has always been referenced that way, 
both in the sample extensions.conf and docs, since the pre 1.0 days (if 
my memory serves me right - as far back as 0.3).

Cheers.
